This season we purchased a season ticket package for the Pirates. I love going to the games and on a rare occasion they actually win! Truthfully, they are among the very worst team in baseball and this year marks 19 consecutive losing seasons - a record in professional sports with no end in sight. But the stadium is amazing and it is just a fun outing!
Since we live so close to downtown we take the bus into town and walk across the bridge to the park. Riding the bus is a new experience for me here in Pittsburgh. I grew up in the south and the only people who rode the buses back home were the very old and the very poor. here in the city much more people ride the buses.
We ride a rather urban route to get to the game and over the last few months I have made some observations on things I do not like about riding the bus!
1. People talking on their damn cell phones. Mind you they do not whisper, no these people talk very LOUD and everyone is forced to listen to their boring conversations about their night out with NaNay or not getting any money from their Baby Daddy!
2. Smelly people on the bus. A bath once daily is not too much to ask. Some of the smellies can be three or four rows away, but their smell finds all!
3. Obese people. There are some people who are so fat they really should be made to purchase two seats, because there is no was another person can ride on the same bench with them.
4. People who resist sharing. These are people who find an empty bench and sit to the right and do not allow others to share the seat. I see older blacks really abuse this and when the bus fills up they need to slide their ass over, because they do not own those seats.
5. Eaters. I hate people who eat on the bus, jut yuck! Yesterday the woman in the seat in front of us was eating a blow pop and she just smacked away - nasty!
6. Ploppers. These are the people who get on and seem to throw their body and the closest possible seat with force - usually they're heavier folks who just can't find the energy to walk three to for steps to find another seat.
There are many other things about riding the bus that irritates me but these are the ones that currently irritate me.
